My initial thoughts upon entering the property were that the kitchen floor level is lower than the rest of the house, stepping down and then up again. This needed re-working to make it level. The existing study area was dilapidated, so looking into it, I decided to completely remove the additions and create a blank canvas with which to work from. By adding a new extension to the rear, I have achieved a large kitchen/dining space with two additional bedrooms over and given the rear elevation, which fronts the highway, its own entrance from the drive. By inserting a new staircase and opening up the existing rooms, I have created a more habitable space within the main farmhouse.
